Default RE: Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth

Discovering the secrets of the Taurusses!.

I experienced it before, during the range check we could use a 446 MHz TopCom Twintalker 3000 (portophone) set of 0,5 watt near the superregenerative receiver without any negative influences, even not when the radio control transmitter was at a distance (over ground) of 860 m.
So for me it was interesting to know if a real-time downlink also would be possible with the superregenerative receiver.
Results are positive. A 200 MHz transmitter near the reveiver of the plane doesn't have any influence, also not at the max distance of the control transmitter.
The 200 MHz downlink receiver in my cap is also normally receiving when the radio control transmitter is switched on and used by me.

It all looks useable, the tonefilter radio with the superregen reveiver and all added modern technical stuff. My safety system will be the radio tube transmitter with a plate(anode) high tension switch just as used by Kraft in the past.

The proportional 35 MHz radio with single or double conversion receivers I also can use combined with the downlink, I do this for more than 35 years without any problems, only point of attention is the transmitting frequency of the downlink related to the 35 MHz, so I don't use 105, 140, 175 or 210 MHz for example.

On the photograph the superregenerative receiver, battery and servo's switched on near the transmitting 200 MHz downlink during the test.


More to come.
